This framework is for those providing initial legal advice to clients.

There are two levels: Level 2 Apprenticeship in Supporting Legal Advice Provision and Level 3 Apprenticeship in Providing Initial Legal Advice

At Level 2 apprentices will work as Legal Signposting Advisers. They will act as the first point of contact for clients and assess their needs and refer to appropriate colleagues or external organisations.

At Level 3 apprentices will work as a Generalist Legal Adviser or Caseworker. They will provide general legal advice to clients. This will include supporting the client to plan, implement and review action.
